Lyrics

(V. 1)

I'm at war with me myself and I, Dee Jaymes is just an illusion

The devil's got ahold of my soul for the ultimate collusion

It's confusing cuz I really wanna know why, why the best of me

Wants the music shit to work, but it's the way it's gotta be

I'm just grinding, moving, locomotive, through my life it's

neverending

I say that I'm the shit, but let's be honest I'm just pretending

I pretend to be the best, pretend I lost all my past flows

And I like to pretend I'm not the best, and I'm the only asshole

But I know it deep down, no matter how hard i try to right the ship

That I should've been fucking aborted, cuz I'm Christ-less as shit

Sometimes i act like a clingy bitch, sometimes i wanna be the hard ass

I can try to live my life right, but my rights are all in the

past (telling me)

(V. 2)

I'm living like I'm almost dead, my last days are in my face

Like I'm immortal, but I'm dying, in this cryptic little maze

That they call our lives, not really what it's supposed to be

Maybe one day I'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

But then I go to sleep and wake up and everything is still

the same

And I can't help the way it's bringing me down, I can't get

these labels feeling me now

Can't finish a line, devils in my ear telling me I'm his now

So now, I can't describe, the way I feel inside, when it comes

to the truth

I gotta flip the script, talk crazy shit, when I wanna help the youth

But before I help anybody else, they say that you gotta help yourself

But I'm stuck in my mind, devilish design, I'm a shadow in my hell

(V. 3)

I'm full of the anger, pressure, neverending aggression

I get fucked up, then forget my thoughts, gotta deal with

the recollection

Sometimes I take every ounce of hate, think about all of

my past mistakes

All the childish games all the people play, all the sadness

and heartbreak

I've been through a lot, broken down to the point of no return

But I take every situation, see the lessons I gotta learn

Let em burn in my brain, I'm going insane, never know what to do

Never getting my full potential, but I still gotta pull through

So I swallow my pride... I'll admit I'm not tough

But I gotta be tough for the ones I love, gotta show faith for

the ones I love

I sit on the soapbox, spill my feelings too much I know

But it's hard to be the happiest, when you're living as a

shadow (like)
